Guest Dqnny Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hey, I just took the IB entrance exam (At Bayview SS if anyone is wondering) and before I took the exam I had a lot of questions and concerns which I can now answer myself. If anyone has any questions for me, ask away! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca1223 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I am also thinking of going to bayview in the future and I am buried in questions!!!!!! How difficult was each section? I heard you only had 25 minutes, was it hard to complete all the questions? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the english section had about 34 questions, the math had 21 questions, and french had 50. Personally, I had a lot of extra time to review my answers. The English section was a paragraph of text followed by 3-4 comprehension questions. The math was almost every subject and french was mainly vocab words. I hope that answered your questions and helped! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My exam is on the Tuesday one ^^ and I'm freaking out so much...my English is not that great and I have 86 average on report card...I know they require grade 7 final report card, but do they accept grade 8 progress report? PLEASE GIVE ME SOME TIPS IF YOU HAVE ANY REGARDING THE EXAM!! And I hope the best of luck to your acceptance as well Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE GIVE ME SOME TIPS IF YOU HAVE ANY REGARDING THE EXAM!! And I hope the best of luck to your acceptance as well I had mine early morning today, and I could say it's way easier than I expected. For French, I would study vocabulary, and general French knowledge. For Math, it was a mix of every unit but was pretty simple (I didn't even use my calculator). As for English, you couldn't really study as it's mostly text comprehension(reading a text and then answering questions about what you just read) so I wouldn't stress that much. Good luck to you as well! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, you just have to write a paragraph about yourself and why you think you would be a good fit for the IB program. Personally, I just talked about my hobbies and my personality.

Tiyam Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hey Rebecca, I hope to meet you at the IB test tomorrow. What I would tell them (for the written profile), is what you've done in the past, and if your a leader or not!! For me, I've had many leadership roles, like student council, being a peace tree spirit leader, and being an eco leader of my school. It all depends on you, and what you'd like to tell them!! I hope we get in together!! -Tiyam PS,, I have an 88 average on my gr 7 report hehe dkm Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovoxo_say1 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) For the profile, would we have to tell them why we are a good fit for IB or just talk about ourselves. Is it an essay or paragraph? And for the french, what were the questions like? (eg: find the word which doesn't relate to the other 3?). Just curious as my exam is today. I hope we can all see each other in IB! Edited November 22, 2016 by ovoxo_say1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dgcnxbfdhmvnvcgnnx Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hey everyone Throw away account, I was first place in the Waterloo math content in grade 7 so I know for sure I aced the math section. The rest of it was all pretty easy, finished with a good amount of time left. See you guys in Bayview next year I guess? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might get stuck with Alex Mac bc that's the closest to where I live. I too felt as if the math section was very easy. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay view just called me saying my email was invalid so they're going to email me again...I'm so scared.. I think so because some of my classmates who applied got an email saying they were waitlisted. However, maybe it could just be a different school? Edited January 19, 2017 by ovoxo_say1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
